The past few days have been events OF
the dirtiest OF the kind of political DEM
OgOguery,b by those two we'll known pOlit-
icaI demagOgUes, John Sherman and
Skin cane" Foraker. The latter, s hen
ever he "opens his mouth and blows In.
to his ear" talks about "re6el hags,"
for the sole purpose OF melting the pre-
judices Of the ignorant and bigoted. He
tried his chin music at the reunion OF
the franklin county, ey-soldiers In the
northern part Of this city, where he ex'
claimed that they wanted more blood N
the flags before he would be willing to
give them up. The second attempt at
demsgogueTy by skin cane was atWheel.
ing, where, to carry out pree0ncocted
arrangement, eOncOcted by some "hun-
dTed day men" In the war of the REBEL
ion, and sustained and encouraged by
Skin cane" he went out of his State to
a neighboring State, and partOOk Of the
hospitalities of Its people, and then
wound up his demagoguery there by In
sulting them to partake Of their hospi'
tallties.
"Skin canes" plea for his demagoguTy
Is that President Cleveland vetoed what
is called the Dependent pension bill
What kind of bill 1t Is, is best told by
Hon. O. +. MBcks and trustee and Presi
dent Of the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors
Home. Mr.. Mack is an appOintee of the
skin cane Foraker, and is editor of the
Sandusky Register, Republican paper,
where the Home is located. Mr.. Mack,
in late number of his paper, says: The
present Republican Legislature serious
ly discussed the prOpriety OF incorpo'
rating provision In the law creating
the Home, by which all soldiers
entering 1t would be required to turn
over their pensions, and ii President
Cleveland had not vetoed the Dependent
Pension bill, the Ohio Legislature would
have passed the bill with the provision
referred to in 1t. And In advocating
the measure, "skin canes" president
and trustee Of theESoldiero' and Sailors
Home, In his paper says; "When pau
per applies for support to the 1U Ufirmary
board, inquiry ls made concerning his
or her means of support. If the spDli'
can't has any property the directors are
required to take possession OF IL, and
turn 1t over to the county treasurer De-
fore the applicant can be received.
The law that requires tn is just, and
there would be no justice whatever In
taking the applicant, and leaving him
In possession Of property to be sQuan-
deTed In wRnton living. Who calls de.

But the greatest piece or political
demagOguery enacted In Ohio for many
q long day, came of In this city during
the past week, under the direction OF
that ''icicle." John Sherman. A body
called the Wool Growers Association OF
Ohio met at the State Fair Grounds last
Wednesday. A committee on resolu.
tiOns was appointed, and instead OF
making an Immediate report, as they
should have done, the Republican trick
sters among thOm-snd they are not
scaree-agreed to adjourn until the
next afternoon, when they could report
Why this delayp John Sherman arrived
in this city that Wednesday afternoon,
and the committee on resolutions spent
nearly the entire night with John at his
room at the Neil House. The next day
they met again on the State Fair
Grounds, and reported In favor of re-.
storing the wool tariff Of 1857, and ab0l-
ishlng the revenuetax on whisky and
tobacco. The icicle then said that II
they wanted the wool tariff Of
1867 restored, they must only
send such Republicans as DelanO
and HarpoTter to Washington TO lobby
for it. Gould there be q greater p0lit-
icsl demRgoguery than thatr Does any
one doubt that John Sherman was the
suggester II not the author Of the reso.

decent and honest wool growers Of Ohio

ing. Every person who has sense
enough to read knows that the wool
tariff Of 1857 would not besn repealed
had 1t not been for such Republicans as
Sherman, who was indebted to the New
England wooden manufactures for
their liberal contributions to the Be
publican campaign fund. But then the
Republican party is the same every
